Yep, the Ditto is definitely Japanese. You're just having some bad luck. But didn't someone on here take over 8000 eggs to get a shiny? O_O I hope you hatch your shiny Tauros soon. And I hope you're feeling better - do you know why you fainted?

I'm still after my shiny Chikorita in Crystal. I'm currently at 3826 SR. I was hoping it would appear before White 2 gets here, since I'll want to concentrate on my badge quest once it does.

Edit: Ooh, my copy of White 2 has been dispatched! Apparently it should be here tomorrow. ^_^

As it happens, yes. A high intake of Tauros, and low blood sugar levels... Will most likely shelve this hunt until after Black 2, as tomorrow, my Black 2 badge quest starts!

My friend got his White2 delivered today :-( he'd ordered through play.com
Wish I'd done that now! Ah well I'll pick it up some time tomoz. Nice to have us all on the same playing field as of tomorrow.

Holy crap! I was playing Crystal, trying to find a Gligar when out of nowhere, a shiny Graveler comes across the screen. I am in battle now and sooooo scared its going to use selfdestruct. I have never had a shiny fail...

NOOOOOOOO!!!!! It used Selfdestruct after the first Ultra Ball...my first ever shiny fail. My heart sank...

Ugh, I feel for you. I inadvertently reset on a shiny Vibrava once; I swear I am going to do another Poke Radar run on Pearl and find that little twerp.

After finally getting my beautiful little Guardian (shiny Golett, Brave with Iron Fist and perfect in Attack), I'd been trying to MM myself a shiny Elekid on Black. But after 413 hatches (and no box room) I've decided that I should pick up my quest on B2. Since the Everstone trick works 100% of the time on B2 and I've had some awful luck getting the right Nature, it'd be best if I tried elsewhere.

That and I hope I have that nifty little charm in my hands when I start breeding again!

Wish me luck. ^.^

May you be waiting for me in the next Gen and forevermore. These are my babies. Be kind to them.

Ouch thats horrible. Sorry to hear that. hope you can reclaim it one day!

And aw man, still no shiny Tepig in B2. I've been dual SRing in HG and in B2 for shiny starters and nothing yet. Haven't been counting but I've been SRing for quite a few days now. Hope SOMETHING shines my way soon! Really hoping to start some badge questing on these games.

It feels so weird to get a shiny via random encounter. The screen scrolls up as the pokemon appears, so even before the sparkles appeared, I knew what it was. I think I'll probably keep it unevolved- Azumarill looks horrible.

Took a lot longer to get a regular Dunsparce- 5% appearance in rustling grass aughhhhh.

Very nice JohnNiles! Azurill was the first shiny I ever got ^.^ Anyway I have been really busy since the release of BW2 and just now have finished trading over all of the pokemon so my national dex is now finished! Shiny Charm is now mine ^^ First thing I will be doing is SRing all of the BW2 Legendary pokes. Good luck everyone and keep up the great work!

Congrats I got a shiny Azurill there in my Jap. B2.

Also congrats to everyone else's recent shinies including cocoa's budew, a personal fav of mine.

Also Master Leo I hope you reclaim that shiny Graveler that really sucks man.

Still playing through WHite 2 rather slowly due to school and other stuff. But once I do I'll go for Kyurem and many other legendaries.

Speaking of which, how does shininess work with roamers again? It's determined when they're set loose, not when you first battle them?
